Please help me welcome author Deborah Camp to Full Moon Bites! Read on below for our interview more about THROUGH HER EYES and a GIVEAWAY!

Holly: Hi! Would you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Deborah Camp:Deborah Camp here. I’m a fulltime writer and that’s been my only career since I graduated from college. When I’m not writing, I’m volunteering for an animal rescue group and fostering rescue dogs. I love to read almost as much as I love to write.Holly: What do you do when you are not writing?Deborah Camp:Aside from rescuing dogs from kill shelters, I like to watch TV, go to the movies, hang out with friends, and enjoy the company of my sexy guy.Holly: Can you tell us about your challenges in getting your first book published?Deborah Camp:I didn’t have trouble getting my first book published. I had done my homework – learning to be a fiction writer, taking my novel through a critique group, studying Publishers Weekly for information on who was buying what – and I sent it to Simon&Shuster. S&S was forming a romance line called Silhouette and my book was one of the first ones accepted for it. I’d say it was beginner’s luck, but I’d worked hard before I submitted that first manuscript.Holly: I know authors get asked this a lot but do you have any advice that you would give to aspiring writers?Deborah Camp:Learn your craft. Even if you have a college degree in English, that doesn’t mean you know how to write popular fiction. Study the top bestsellers as if they are your textbooks – because they are! – and learn what it is about them that made them climb to the top 50 or 100. If you’re focusing on writing in a certain genre, read the top 50 bestsellers in that genre. Don’t “copy” them. Learn from them how to construct your novel, pace it, format it, etc.Holly: Can you tell us, in your own words not the book description, a little about your book?Deborah Camp:“Through Her Eyes” is the fourth in a six-book series (Mind’s Eye). The first three focused a lot on Levi Wolfe and the next three will focus more on Trudy Tucker. Trudy has doubts about herself and her psychic gifts. She’s always been afraid of what she can do, but working with Levi is bringing her out of her shell and making her more confident. In “Through Her Eyes,” Trudy discovers new psychic powers and how to harness them. She also confronts the final obstacles that are keeping her from walking down the aisle with Levi.Holly: Can we expect more novels from you in 2017? Deborah Camp:I also write historical western romances and I hope to publish the next one in December. I’m writing it now. My most recent one is Solitary Horseman and it’s available on Amazon.Holly: Are you reading anything interesting at the moment? If so, what is it? Deborah Camp:I’m always reading something interesting! I am on Goodreads every day looking for new books and new authors. Some of my favorites are Roni Loren, Abigail Barnette, Mia Sheridan, and Meghan March. I love sexy romps, but they need to have a good plot or I get bored. If you haven’t read “Off the Clock,” “The Boss,” “Archer’s Voice,” or “Beneath This Ink,” you really are missing out on some fantastic books.Holly: What is the hardest part of writing in your opinion? Deborah Camp:Sitting your butt down and doing it every day. I think any writer will tell you that. Some days the words fly and some days they get stuck, but it’s important to write every day. Use it or lose it. The second hardest part is promoting your books. Indie writers have it tough. Yes, a few break out and zoom to the top of bestseller lists, but 98 percent of us have to keep beating the drums and looking for readers. With so many “free” books out there, it’s a real challenge. Even though readers complain that most of the freebies are poorly written, they don’t want to spend 99 cents or $2.99 or $3.99 for a quality read. So, promoting is very difficult. That’s why blogs like this are important to writers and readers.Holly: What is the easiest part of writing in your opinion? Deborah Camp:Writing The End.Holly: If you could live in the world you have created, would you? If no, why not?Deborah Camp:Yes, I would! I would love to live with sexy Levi Wolfe in his swanky penthouse. Wouldn’t mind it one bit!

Holly: Do you have anything you would like to say to your readers?

Book Description:

Psychic detectives Levi Wolfe and Trudy Tucker comb the streets of New Orleans in search of a serial killer who has claimed 19 lives and counting.

The suspect was in an accident almost two years ago that left him paralyzed in a wheel chair, but the murders continue. Is he faking it or has he enlisted a protégé to continue his reign of terror?

As Levi and Trudy draw closer to the truth, Trudy discovers new and unsettling psychic abilities in herself.

“It was strange.
Very strange. I was contacted – during a business meeting, mind you – by the
dead son of the new contractor I was speaking with in my office. This kid – a
salvage yard murder victim – popped into my head and started yelling at me. I
tried to shut him out, but I couldn’t. I had to actually stop the damned
meeting and tell the man that his deceased son was demanding an audience. Gonzo
thought I’d lost my noodle.”

“Good Lord!” She
covered her parted lips with her hand. “I’d say that was a heck of a
coincidence, but . . .it seems to be so much more than that.”

“Yeah, right.”
He sat back and drummed his fingers on the table for a few seconds. “Anyway,
the kid – Clayton Nelson – was hitchhiking in New Orleans when a guy in a
pickup stopped for him. He couldn’t see much of the man’s face because he wore
a ball cap and sunglasses. He had a mustache that looked fake to me. He used
the ploy of something being wrong with his truck to get the kid to look under
the hood and then he knocked him out with a blow to the head. Clay came to in a
basement, his wrists and ankles bound with plastic ties and chains.” He
shuttered his gaze from her. “That’s where he was murdered.” A few seconds
ticked by before his lashes lifted to reveal his dark blue eyes that never
missed much. “You’ve been in contact with the murderer already, haven’t you?”

Her heart
jolted. He was uncanny. “I was in contact with someone who’s warped. I don’t
know if it was the salvage yard killer.”

“Was he
murdering someone?”

“Something. A
cat.”

Levi’s upper lip
lifted in disgust. “Jesus.”

“Yeah. He was
practicing, I think.” She shuddered and blocked out the memory.

“The kid in my
head showed me a compass and pointed to the N on it.”

She gasped at
the reference. “Your true north?”

“Bingo. His way
of telling me that you were already part of this.”

She reached for
her glass of juice. They must be destined to examine this case. How else could
she explain what happened to Levi and what she’d already experienced?
